Why does 'continue' behave like 'break' in a Foreach-Object?

Question

If I do the following in a PowerShell script:

$range = 1..100
ForEach ($_ in $range) {
    if ($_ % 7 -ne 0 ) { continue; }
    Write-Host \"$($_) is a multi         


        

Answer 1

Another alternative is kind of a hack, but you can wrap your block in a loop that will execute once. That way, continue will have the desired effect:

1..100 | ForEach-Object {
    for ($cont=$true; $cont; $cont=$false) {
        if ($_ % 7 -ne 0 ) { continue; }
        Write-Host "$($_) is a multiple of 7"
    }
}
